I recently dusted off a old hard drive that = contains a whole 2 gigs of hard drive space. I have installed the hard = disk drive and am wanting to install "FreeBsd" on it. Before I go about = mucking things up, I just wanted to make sure that when I go to install = FreeBsd it will not mess up the existing hard drive. I have business = and payroll progs on it. I am also wondering if when installing there = is an actual question asked by the installation prog for destination. = Sorry to be asking a stupid question, and I swear I read through your = installation info until my eyes dried out and couldn't find the answers, = so that is why I am bothering you. I did try to find the answer first. = Anyways any help would be cool as I would really like to start = relearning another operating system. Andy
